300hr Pathway

Looking to further develop your skills and experience as a Yoga Teacher?

Once you've completed your 200hr Yoga Teacher Certificate you can begin your 300hr pathway. Attaining both your 200hr and 300hr certificates as well as 100 hours of teaching experience allows you to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT® 500.

Please note that your 300hr certificate can only be attained if all of the trainings are from the same school. This means that if you're looking to complete your 300hr certificate with Essence of Living, any hours you have completed at other schools cannot be used towards the 300hr, and vice versa!

Ready to take your teaching to the next level? Our 300hr pathway is registered with Yoga Alliance and has plenty of options to support you!

WHAT OUR graduate STUDENTs SAY

My dream in the beginning was to become a full-time Yoga Teacher, so with that in mind I initially completed my 200hr Yoga teacher training in 2020.

It was truly a mind-blowing experience that I will forever cherish. It also gave me an appetite for more learning & growing, so I went back a few months later and completed the 100hr Adjustments & Sequencing course taking my teaching, skills/knowledge & confidence to the next level.

By this time I was loving the journey, the process & the growth that was unfolding for me, so I decided to complete my 100hr Yin Yoga teacher training course also.

These 2 extra trainings after my initial 200hr yoga TT are what made the difference for me. It made me more employable to studios, allowing me to become a full-time teacher within a few months.

It gave me all the extra confidence I needed, English being my second language. It widened my knowledge of the physical body and it opened the door for my spirituality with a new found depth of philosophy learnt.

The trainings are both fun and challenging, and to be honest I lovingly pushed my body further than I ever had before, going deeper into my own practice.

But my favorite thing about the 300hrs training was to learn how to adjust people. There is something so simple and so special about the power of touch. It connects us on a deeper level and being able to support someone in their practice and make a positive impact in their day is pure magic. I get to do it everyday thanks to Michelle’s trainings!

I have since completed online courses with Essence of Living Academy as well as both my Pilates Mat, Pilates Props & Barre teacher training courses which now allow me to express both my sun & moon qualities on the mat.

I believe because I have the knowledge, skills & wisdom across so many modalities of movement I can meet students exactly where they are at & I can support them in the best method to take them to where they want to go!

Being both a Yoga & Pilates teacher gives me the opportunity to ensure my students are supported holistically, it also makes me even more desirable to studios & corporate clients who are looking for multi-skilled teacher.

My biggest problem these days is saying no to so many amazing opportunities I am offered.

You can live your dream. Love Charlotte xxx
